"Then we..."
One of the jonin who had deployed with Minato looked troubled. Not far away, a group of sand shinobi with grim expressions, as though their parents had died, were searching desperately. Just like when they had searched for their former Third Kazekage, they were destined to find nothing.

That confidence came from Konoha's overall strength, as well as Ronglin, who had returned to the village. Even though Ronglin had said he would
